Useful Idiots

Karl Marx described "useful idiots" as people who carry the Marxist ideals throughout a society or country itself, but this term can apply to anyone who believes in useless political ideals. Many young college students are bought and sold by liberal/socialist ideals like no-gun laws will stop crime in its tracks, heavy government control in our life is a good thing, and universal healthcare will solve all issues. They can be considered useful idiots because other countries around the world have proved these ideas horribly wrong, however they still blindly follow their leaders who say those things. Useful idiots believe they are fighting for "good" causes, but do not have the ability to think for themselves. If they would actually sit and think things out for a few minutes, they would realize how bad their ideas really are.
"My adherents are useful idiots." -Karl Marx

Person 1: America needs socialized medicine because thousands of people can't get healthcare, and socialized medicine will solve that issue!

Person 2: No it won't, the hospitals will just become so filled that LESS people will get help, and more people will die from curable diseases! Countries like Cuba and the U.K. have already proved this!

Person 1: No, it works! You're just a hatemonger of the poor! It works in other countries and it will work here!

Person 2: Ugh! What's the use of arguing this? You're just another useful idiot.

Useful tea party idiot

A mentally challenged citizen who believes he has a political opinion. He adopts prejudices and platitudes from some filthy rich, anti-social demagogues and believes that FoxNews is sent by god. As a reward, the tea party master puppeteers destroy the health care system, the educational system and the country in general, later they create a new caste-based society.
Is there a day in Washington D.C. without hateful speeches of useful tea party idiots?

Useful idiot

Someone that follows orders without question and may carry out actions to help those that fed them the propaganda, such as disbelieves facts against whom they are biased toward, spreading inaccurate information in favor of their leader or unfavorably toward their opponent, and in general, act as a tool against their own self interest and the interests of those in whom they believe they know what's best for.
Sam believes he's fighting for freedom and liberation but he's bombing countries simply so that his government can take hold of the oil field and establish a central bank. Sam is a useful idiot for thinking freedom is the purpose, and those that support him as a troop are useful idiots for thinking their tax dollars don't kill innocent children in failed, illegal, drone strikes.

Rhonda is such a useful idiot because she thinks that Clinton matches her progressive ideals and chides those for supporting third party, yet, the two party system has been bombing countries for decades and making back door deals with large corporations. Most are tired of the corruption, yet Rhonda thinks that voting for those who are responsible for the corruption is somehow the best way to stop it. What a very useful idiot she is.

Cletus loves Trump because Trump says he won't send jobs out of the country, yet Trump's own products are manufactured out of the country. Cletus does not think Trump is a lying hypocrite because Cletus is a useful idiot.
